Former W&J Coach Pleads Guilty

A former intern basketball coach at Washington & Jefferson College has entered a guilty plea to federal charges of production and attempted production of videos depicting the sexual exploitation of a minor. 29 year old Jacob Kolonis was indicted on 16 counts following an investigation by the U.S Department of Homeland Security and the state attorney general’s office. The former Washington resident now lives in Blair County. The charges related to the exploitation of two girls from Ohio and one from Pennsylvania. Kolonis had been free on bond, but that was revoked following his plea. He is to be sentenced in June before U.S. District Judge Robert Colville.
